    Brits seem to really love when I heavily salt tea and heat it in the microwave. I top it off by saying “Cheerio! Pip pip!” in my best southern drawl.

    Don’t know why…

    I too eat kiwis with skin, but apparently stranger is that I eat the whole apple, starting from the bottom working up, core and all.

    I use flatware when eating everything, including finger food. My friends only made fun of me when I ate crisps with a fork.

    I will remove the top bun from hamburgers and use a knife & fork to cut little wedges out of them. Fewer carbs & no sloppiness!

        To keep it too simple, it’s neurodivergent people not adapting themselves to the constructed social norms.

        In a more elaborated definition: it’s subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.

        When people have a brain functioning differently from the majority, you will have different behaviors not matching the heteronormativity and the neuronormativity —even if you’re heterosexual. The most obvious examples are not making eyes contact, not shaking hands, stimming in public.

    I’ve had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can’t even remember how to do it the “normal” way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.

      I did that knot in front of a shoe saleswoman and she commented she had never seen anyone do that before. Asked me to show her again how I did it.

      I just heard of that for the first time like 2 days ago and this is the second time.

      Is it a new thing? Or is it just coincidence? Lol
